Lyrics: William Shakespeare

What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leathern skin and horns to wear.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.
Take you no scorn to wear the horn;
It was a crest ere thou wast born.
Thy father's father bore it,
And thy father wore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.
